Fresh Fall Snack Recipe: Za’atar Pita Chips with Yogurt Dip

Are your snacks and hors d’oeuvres starting to feel a little stale? This fast take on homemade pita chips will blow bagged varieties out of the kitchen. Just a few minutes in the oven and you’ll be cured of snack boredom.

The most difficult part of this recipe involves splitting open pita pockets, and even that doesn’t have to be perfect. As long as you have a bit of za’atar, the Middle Eastern spice blend of sesame seeds, thyme, and sumac, on hand, you’re a few minutes away from homemade pita chips. (See more about this seasoning blend here.) Sometimes I even make this with one pita in the toaster oven.

Za'atar Pita Chips with Yogurt Dip

Ingredients

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Combine za'atar and olive oil in a small bowl to form a paste. Cut one pita open around the edge to create two rounds. Repeat with remaining pita. Place pita rounds on a baking sheet. Spread za'atar mixture over rough sides of pita rounds using the back of a spoon. Bake until edges are golden, about 5-7 minutes. Allow to cool slightly and cut into wedges.
